		<description>In ADDITION to all other activities, might I suggest internalism? Local parties ARE starting to notice us, the grumbling minority in the middle of chaos. Whether by telling the truth or by deception, I believe it is VITAL that huge numbers of SJ suddenly find themselves appointed delegates at state and national conventions of BOTH parties.
Imagine an exceptionally loud, militant, cap wearing &quot;Rabble&quot; that refuse to be removed from the floor at said conventions. That is where the rev. is going to start. Bring back the chicago 7</description>

		<description>As soon as I spotted this site I knew RAHs work was involved.

Those who refuse to support and defend a state have no claim to protection by that state. Killing an anarchist or a pacifist should not be defined as &quot;murder&quot; in a legalistic sense. The offense against the state, if any, should be &quot;Using a deadly weapon inside city limits,&quot; or &quot;Creating a traffic hazard,&quot; or &quot;Endangering bystanders,&quot; or other misdemeanor. 
However, the state may reasonably place a closed season on these exotic asocial animals whenever they are in danger of becoming extinct.  

Natural laws have no pity

You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don&#039;t ever count on having both at once. 

Now that I know this is here I will have to check it out more often.</description>

		<description>My favorite quote: &quot;Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.&quot; - Notebooks of Lazarus Long
I&#039;m not an extremest - right or left - I believe in a persons right to say what it is thats on their mind, as long as my freedom regarding whether I listen or not is respected. I find government&#039;s long-standing and recently accelerating efforts to infringe both of those rights to be disturbing. 
I agree w/ Last Angry Man regarding his 3rd Party comment (as well as the &quot;fully functional man&quot; quotation) - additionally, I have even run a P-250 to dewater compartments on naval vessels (our own and others) (BTW, they&#039;ve shifted to P-100s now... Better pump and engine). 
Lastly, I&#039;ve been a RAH fan for almost 30 years - love the site and the use of the premise. Prof - I know you said this effort on government&#039;s part has been a long time coming, but the crisis we find ourselves in today is one in which our liberty is no longer being accidentally protected by two-party squabbles. Your namesake would have said that our greatest protection is an ineffective government - our greatest threat is when there are moments of lucidity and action on the part of that government (from either side of the political aisle).

Keep up the great work!

		<description>Prof, I have been a staunch believer in RAH since I was eight, and I am fifty now.

Remember his statement about what constitutes a fully-functional man?

&quot;A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.&quot;

I can do all of these.  Do I pass the test?

Perhaps what the US REALLY requires is a new third party: the Heinlein Party, those of us who are sensible, pragmatic, functional, and prepared to go to the wall for our beliefes and standards.  If so, please sign me up.  I am already there.</description>

		<description>If Congresscrud were to be so named, it would open a window for outsourcing them, saving Americans millions, billions, trillions! That would in turn allow us to become more productive and free.</description>

		<description>I think our Congressmen and Senators should be referred to as: 2 Year Contract workers and 6 Year Contract workers. They are working (supposedly) for us and we should be able to fire them... I know they&#039;re called elections, but with the amount of money they collect from lobbiests they&#039;re almost forgone conclusions.  They derive their power from us &amp; we should let them know it.</description>
